Developmental Psychology   The Scientific study of how humans change over lifespan from conception to death  
🗑
What are the stages of brain development?   Neurogenesis, Cell Migration, Differentiation, Synaptogenesis, neuronal cell death, Synapse arrangement  
🗑
Neurogenesis   1st stage of brain development. Dividing cells become neurons  
🗑
Cell migration   2nd stage of brain development. Neurons move and start to form clumps of cells that become brain regions  
🗑
Differentiation   Neurons develop into different types  
🗑
Synaptogenesis   Making the billions of connections (synapses) between neurons  
🗑
Neuronal Cell Death   Many cells formed earlier die, mostly because they have incorrect connections. This process stops before birth  
🗑
Synapse rearrangement   Some Synapses are lost and others are formed. This process continues throughout life  
🗑
What are the periods of Prenatal Development   Germinal, Embryotic, and Fetal period (GEF)  
🗑
Germinal Period   Conception - about 2 weeks Zygote divides rapidly and implants to the uterine wall and placenta forms  
🗑
Embryotic Period   About week 3 to 8 Brian, Spine, major organs and bodily structures begin to form  
🗑
Fetal Period   About week 9 to birth Brain continues to develop, fetus grows in length and weight, fat accumulates for birthing process  
🗑
Teratogens   Environmental substances that can harm prenatal development Ex: Legal Drugs, Recreational Drugs, Infections, Environmental factors. Impact depends on Duration, amount and when the exposer happened  
🗑
Sensitive periods   Time during development when events, such as light deprivation, can have a large affect on brain development and later behavior  
🗑
Secure attachment style   Confident as long as care giver is present, care giver is safe space  
🗑
Avoidant Attachment style   Infant is willing to go off and explore, not really interested in care giver  
🗑
Ambivalent Attachment style   Unwilling to explore. Upset when caregiver leaves and upset when they come back

🗑
Theory of Mind   Child understands that their thoughts are different than others. Something that is acquired not born with  
🗑
Piaget's Theory of Cognitive development   Assimilation: Incorporate new information into existing schemas. Accommodation: Changes schemas or alters existing ones to incorporate new info that doesnt fit.  
🗑
Schemas (prototype)   Collections of ideas, prior knowledge, and experiences that help organize info and guide thought and behavior. Example: when you think of a classroom you know the general setup. Board at from with a bunch of chairs facing it.  
🗑
What are Piaget's 4 stages of cognitive development?   Sensorimotor Preoperational Concrete Operational Formal Operational  
🗑
Sensorimotor   Ages 0-2. Starts to learn if you actively do something there is a sensory response  
🗑
Preoperational   Ages 2-7. Uses language to represent objects. Classifying objects by one feature  
🗑
Concrete Operational   Ages 7-12. Starts thinking logically about concrete objects  
🗑
Formal Operational   Ages 12 and up. Can think logically about abstract propositions  
🗑
Development of language   Phonemes: Basic sounds, Morphemes: Smallest units of sound with meaning Syntax: Rules about how words are combined making sentences  
🗑
Different stages of the development of language   1. Crying fussing 2. Babbling: sounds that dont have specific meaning 3. One word stage: Dad, Mom, Hi, Milk 4. Telegraphic speech: Two word phrases 5.Overgeneralization  
🗑
Puberty   Physical changes in the body that are part of sexual development. Hormones, height and weight increase rapidly
